Just spotted in Los Feliz! Paige Premium Denims are back at Costco. I couldn’t believe my ears. A friend of mine practically called me from the store while she was shopping. No jeans in petites, to her dismay.

The Paige Jeans are going for about $75. Too bad the jeans are not online at Cosco. If you don’t have a membership to the store, you better grab a friend who does and head on over. Call ahead to find out whether the Costco near you have ‘em in stock.

Is it London in the late 1800s, or Los Angeles in the late 80s? Los Angeles-based House of Cassette is an independent fashion label, which is known for its minimalist design, complemented by tiny details and flourishes. Expect to see high quality: chainstitching and custom buttons made from an embossing technique much like coin making. Denimphiles will appreciate Cassette’s use of vintage denim, as in their Bespoke Denim, assembled with 1909 vintage denim. With their jeans and dark apparel pairings, one can go Rock ‘n’ Roll, Edwardian-Goth, or simply aging record producer wannabe Emo. Whatever the case may be, House of Cassette “surrounds itself within a burgeoning creative community, which includes writers, photographers, artists, musicians and designers.”

Celebrity following includes Jessica Alba and Alicia Keys. Housed within Downtown L.A.’s Arts District, House of Cassette’s entire design, cut and assembly process can be found “within arms reach of each other” so that a design and fit can be easily perfected in an instant.

If you are looking for the perfect-fitting pair of jeans, this may be your best solution. They take your measurements and design a pair of jeans according to your specs. Founder and Designer Peter James Lee (formerly of Hudson Jeans) says, of being in the premium denim business, “We’ve built a Cadillac; we’ve built a Bentley; a jean, worthy of its price.” I say, a perfect-fitting pair of jeans is priceless.

For one month only, Gap has commissioned Colette to create an installation in its rotating concept store next to the ubiquitous brand’s headquarters on 54th and 5th in NYC.

From September 6 to October 5th, US (okay, NYC shoppers and tourists) will get to shop a selection of Colette boutique’s exclusive products. Ladies and gents, this is the first time you’ll get to shop Colette on American soil. Meaning, you don’t have to shell out to cross the pond!

If you are across the pond, the exclusive tees, jewelry, and fragrances can be found at the Colette boutique in Paris.

Selectism has a first look at the goods. For more info on Colette x Gap, click here.

Oh please, would somebody tell me why anybody would cut out a perfectly good pair of denim overalls to get attention? It’s not as if he’s Demi Moore, famously flaunting her fabulous pregnant body for Vanity Fair. Nuff said.

Looks like Justin Timberlake has taken his campaign for William Rast to an entirely new level. The newest photos for the campaign, ???My name is William Rast??? depict Justin in jail. Mugshots! He is rocking a mock black eye, peace sign and of some sexy William Rast denim.

For all of our friends in Las Vegas, People’s Liberation will be premiering the marketing campaign, erm film, tomorrow night. That’s Wednesday, August 27. Here’s the deets:

The People’s Liberation clothing line will launch a marketing campaign in the form of a movie called My Name is William Rast

starring Justin Timberlake. The movie is set in Tennessee and the story

of William Rast and his girlfriend Birdie, played by model Erin Wasson,

We’ve seen underpants with ass-padding, but what about those women who want a little help shaping their derriere and yet don’t want to add any extra volume? There’s a void in the undergarment market, and Bubbles Bodywear has taken advantage of it: Meet the Double-O Push-Up Thong, an ass bra. “Go undercover with a license to ‘shake what your mama gave you’ with our new Double-O Collection!” their Website urges. The Push-Up Thong, they say, “enhances the lift, shape and volume of the derriere while also flattening the lower tummy and shaping the thigh.” At $64, it’s not exactly the cheapest solution to a saggy backside. At least you can probably achieve the same effect by cutting holes in your old Spanx.

While Twill jeans run amuck in all sorts of 80s-inspired candy colors at stores like H&M and American Apparel this season, designer fall collections answer back with unsurprising subdued, non-color solutions in anticipation for a cooler climate. Trend watchers will also notice an uprising of “tribal” makeup in the club scene and Revolutionary-Battalion looks in boutiques, particularly noticeable in the jackets. Are we experiencing a resurgence of the New Romantics? Fashionistas don’t seem to be ready to let go of the 80s, and this fall, the ladies get to reinterpret their version of New Romanticism. Take that Adam Ant!

Although New York designer Gary Graham delivers textured, bleached and Dust Bowl era-inspired looks in his fall 2008 collection, you can’t help but notice some of his other historic inspirations: hints of Punk, Avante-Grunge and Goth; and, a bolder presentation of New Romantics-friendly jackets for the ladies. Think Les Miserables. Graham’s twill jeans and a punky pink zippered skirt are not as exciting as his coats, jackets and vests in various fabrics, including leather. His jackets will be sure hits with fall denim darks and smokey greys, whether they be skinny or baggier, Boyfriend Jeans. The ladies will be sure standouts and pressed for battle in the social scene. Vive la mode!

will revolutionise the wardrobes of denim lovers – be they mums, party

girls or businesswomen – everywhere.

“I love 24 hour jeans, styling them from day to night,” she adds. “For a business lunch with a blazer and Jimmy Choos, on a afternoon shopping trip with girlfriends in my Chanel Ballerina pumps, on a tete-a-tete wearing a super glamorous sparkling top combined with my sexy high-heel Louboutins…”
